MTL - Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall?

Chapter 19 This meat is so fragrant that I can’t help but buy it!

Shuize Resort has excellent scenery and focuses on natural harmony.

 The resort is divided into commercial area and tourist area.

 The commercial area consists of shops, snacks, and children's amusement parks for tourists.

 The tourist area is a large pasture and a park.

 Jiang Feng’s stall is on the snack street in the business district.

 The next day, Jiang Feng prepared the soup stock, stewed the delicacies, and set out again.

 It is quite difficult for one person to make braised pork.

For example, pig's trotters should be cleaned in advance, seasoned and cooked in a pot, and then braised in broth.

 He worked in his small shop for several hours in the morning to prepare the braised pork for sale that day.

 The delicious smell wafted around the shop, and many people couldn't help but stay for a while after smelling it.

 Still curious where the fragrance comes from.

Jiang Feng drove the dining car and soon entered the resort.

The security guard at the door saw him coming in, confirmed that there was no problem, and chose to let him go.

"Master, you came late enough. It's already 11 o'clock."

 “Other vendors come here to set up stalls at 7 o’clock.”

 The security guard was an enthusiastic person and chatted with Jiang Feng.

“Well, I sell braised pork. It needs to be prepared in advance, so it takes some time.”

Jiang Feng is also polite and can chat with anyone.

 The dining car drove towards the interior of the resort.

 The braised pork in the pot is covered with a lid, but occasionally when it is bumped, the aroma will burst out from the pot.

The security guard smelled the aroma from the Jiangfeng dining car, and his stomach suddenly growled.

 It’s almost time to have lunch, and it’s hard not to feel hungry when you smell this smell.

“It tastes really good, but the braised pork is too expensive. It costs half a day’s salary to eat it.”

The security guard thought to himself, took out his mobile phone and ordered some fried noodles.

Jiang Feng came to the place where he set up his stall.

 At this time, there are already many people in the snack street, and people are coming and going on the road.

 Restaurants and stalls are busy welcoming customers.

 Looking very lively.

Jiang Feng parked the dining car and went down to prop up the glass window of the dining car from the side and hang up the sign.

 Then lift the lid of the braised pork pot.

 The meat is still boiling in the pot.

In an instant, the rich fragrance spreads out.

 The meat should not be marinated for too long. When it is almost done, take it out and put it in a basin.

Jiang Feng’s braised pork has just started to be braised and needs to be cooked for a while.

 The smell is also to welcome guests.

 The vendors around him smelled the fragrance and sniffed.

Jiang Feng’s braised pork tasted surprisingly fragrant, and they all thought about coming over to buy some.

As soon as Jiang Feng opened his stall, customers came over.

Many of them are repeat customers.

 After a while, another person came over.

Jiang Feng also knew this person. She was the little girl from the pasture who made the last business yesterday.

 Zhang Xinya washed her hair and put on a little makeup today, and her temperament was completely different from yesterday.

“Boss, you’re finally here.”

 “I’m here for the second time.”

 Zhang Xinya smiled.

 Seeing Zhang Xinya, Jiang Feng also smiled.

 This is big business after all.

Jiang Feng just started selling braised pork today, and he still has a long way to go.

“I was busy stewing it in the morning, so I only made part of it, and the rest is still stewing.”

"How much do you want."

Jiang Feng responded immediately.

“Ten pig trotters, then 5 jins of fat intestines, 5 jins of chicken feet, and 5 jins of braised vegetables.”

 Zhang Xinya looked at the menu board and said.

Jiang Feng was a little surprised when he heard Zhang Xinya's words.

 This is enough to buy!

Ten pig trotters weigh less than twenty kilograms, and if you add in the fat intestines and chicken feet, it will weigh thirty kilograms.

 At the price of 40 per catty, this business can earn 1,200.

 “No problem, you bought enough this time.”

Jiang Feng sighed with emotion.

 Zhang Xinya replied:

“Our family loves to eat meat, including my dad and several old employees of the ranch.”

“I had a lot of fun eating your braised pork yesterday.” “Is your recipe for braised pork passed down from family? This recipe is very valuable.”

 “Used properly, you can build a brand.”

 Zhang Xinya is more business-savvy, and she saw business opportunities in Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng was very calm and replied:

“It’s so easy to create a brand of gourmet food in today’s society. There are many delicious secret braised pork recipes. Many private braised pork shops are very popular in the local area, but they are also small workshops and it is difficult to go out.”

“It’s still hard to build a braised pork brand.”

“And my braised pork stock is very troublesome to handle and is not suitable for mass production.”

 “So don’t consider those.”

Jiang Feng responded while weighing the meat for Zhang Xinya.

After the two people chatted like this, they both found that the other person was a smart person, or that they could talk about the same topic.

  Sometimes it’s very tiring to chat with some people, because the level of thinking is not on the same level, and the chat is very boring.

Hearing what Jiang Feng said, Zhang Xinya nodded.

“Indeed, it is difficult to build a braised pork brand now. The catering industry has long been a red ocean, too involuted, and there are too many delicious brands.”

“I think it’s a pity that you just set up a stall for such a good braised pork recipe.”

“It would be better to open a larger store.”

Jiang Feng weighed the meat, packed it in a plastic box, and replied with a smile:

“I’m used to setting up stalls. Some people asked me to be a chef in a restaurant, but I don’t like to be restrained.”

 “That’s good.”

The two were chatting.

“A total of one thousand three hundred and eighty. If you are a regular customer, just give me one thousand three hundred.”

Jiang Feng put the meat in plastic boxes and packed them together. He also put ten pairs of disposable gloves, some disposable chopsticks and wet wipes packets.

 Zhang Xinya came here by bicycle.

 It’s really hard to put this much meat in the basket of an electric car.

Jiang Feng helped fix it and confirmed that there was no problem.

 Zhang Xinya then rode away.

 With this business, Jiang Feng’s 200-jin task has been advanced by 32 kilograms.

  Completed more than one-seventh of it in one go.

  If you have another business like this, you can go home and rest directly.

Jiang Feng’s mood improved.

This beauty should come here more often from now on.

However, Jiang Feng doesn't have to worry about the task. Today's business is much better than yesterday.

 Having repeat customers makes business easier.

 Not long after, another guest came.

 “Boss, bring me a pig’s trotter.”

 “I just love your pig’s trotters, they are so delicious.”

 “It’s full of umami flavor, not a bit of that bad taste.”

 The customer ordered with a smile.

Jiang Feng responded:

“This is a small business, all the braised food is made today. The business is good, and the stewed food is sold out every day.”

 “The taste is natural and fresh.”

Nowadays, many braised meat restaurants, because the braised meat cannot be sold out, in order to reduce costs, they add preservative seasonings and continue to store it. Some braised pork has been stored for many days and becomes smelly.

No matter how hard the sinister boss tried to cover it up with antiseptic materials, the rotten smell could not be concealed.

 You can still smell it when eating pig's trotters.

 So it is not easy to buy delicious and fresh braised pork.

Jiang Feng’s braised pork is fresh and delicious. Anyone who has studied meat can appreciate the wonderfulness of his braised pork.

 Hearing what Jiang Feng said, the guests were even more happy.

 “It turned out to be freshly made, so I thought it tasted so good.”

 “Cut me another pound of pig head meat.”

"good."

Jiang Feng picked up the tongs, took out a piece of pig head meat from the pot, and placed the meat on the chopping board.

The freshly stewed pork head trembled slightly on the chopping board, which was enough to show how soft it was.

 Seeing the trembling pork head, the guest swallowed unconsciously.

 Pork head meat looks great.

 Ruddy and shiny, full and plump overall.

 The meat is still hot, and the steam coming out is fragrant.

Jiang Feng used a black iron kitchen knife to cut the pig head meat. When cutting, the rich meat juice flowed out along the meat and onto the chopping board.

 When the guests saw the gravy flowing out, they just felt it was a waste. The gravy poured on the white steamed buns was definitely a rare delicacy.

When Jiang Feng was cutting the meat, several customers nearby were staring at the meat.

 Everyone swallowed unconsciously.

This meat looks so fragrant that I can’t help but buy it!
